Hotel Renew is a surprising value!

Recommending accommodations in Waikiki has just gotten easier! I toured this property and found the zen like design to be very soothing. The price per night was super reasonable for all the luxury and the location.

“Setting a new standard for comfort and style in Honolulu, Hotel Renew, is the first true designer boutique hotel to arrive to the Hawaiian Islands. Located in the vibrant center of Waikiki, steps to Waikiki Beach, Hotel Renew promises an experience of luxury and ease from the moment you arrive.”

The Westin Moana Beach House

Last Wednesday, I lunched as a guest of the Moana's catering department at the Beach House Restaurant. This was the previous site of the Grand Salon (remodeled as part of the Westin management change) where many happy couples celebrated their weddings.

To my delight, I learned that the space is now available for wedding receptions! The view remains as stunning as it always has been while the furnishings and decor have a modern casual beach feeling. One more wonderful option available to my clients:)

Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Bar

Recently, we had a self serve candy bar that included macadamia nuts in a variety of flavors. What a success!
The nuts can be savory or sweet. During cocktails guests moved between the salty Maui onion/garlic & the honey glazed flavors. By the end of the evening, everyone was all about the chocolate toffee & the Kona coffee glazed flavors. Irresistible!!!!

Radiant Bride by Luxz!

Roxanne, the owner & licensed esthetician of Luxz, graciously offered me a complimentary microdermabrasion Intraceutical hyperbaric oxygen therapy facial. FYI- these are the treatments that are keeping the Hollywood crowd looking so incredibly youthful.

I was pleased with immediate results of the treatment, but what I am finding so completely astonishing is that at 5 weeks out -I am continuing to see improvements. Fine lines & hyper-pigmentation have been minimized and my skin has a glow & suppleness that is new! Yup! I am hooked and am planning on booking myself for the series!!!!!! These results are better than any other single thing that I have done recently to improve my appearance.

For my brides who want to look fresh and radiant on their wedding day this is a really worthwhile treatment. The boost is so completely visible! Do consider your moms for this treatment too because the longer one has LIVED in her skin the more dramatic the results!

What I like to see..., a confident bride

A few days ago I pulled some images from a past wedding at the Paul Mitchell Estate. I loved the spirit of this picture. Our bride was having a blast, relaxed and feeling sassy. As a wedding planner alot of our work is intangible. I think this image captures the playfulness and ease that we achieve for our clients through professional planning and coordination.
